Two people comfort each other during a ceremony in tribute to the victims of October 7 attacks on Israel, at The Choral Temple in Bucharest, Romania on October 7, 2024, on the first anniversary. The Hamas attack on October 7 resulted in the death of 1,205 people on the Israeli side, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures, which includes hostages killed in captivity. Out of 251 people taken hostage that day, 97 are still being held inside the Gaza Strip, including 34 who the Israeli military says are dead. More than 41,909 Palestinians, a majority of them civilians, have been killed in Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip since the war began, according to data provided by the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. The UN has acknowledged these figures as reliable. (Photo by Daniel MIHAILESCU / AFP)
